What travelers say:
Different places have different ways of cooking the three-pot dishes. The one here uses the more traditional firewood flavor, and the service attitude is quite good. There is also a timer to accurately adjust the heat. Just add two servings of rice and it will be warm. It's just a little expensive.

There is a special person here who cooks the food on site. You can see that the seasonings are first mixed, and there are several kinds of them. Then the meat is put in. They also considerately use a cover, so there is no need to worry about the smoke spraying on your face. Finally, put the side dishes in and cook them before you can hot pot. It is especially fragrant, and there are a lot of ribs.
The environment is a bit like a luxury farm. Each table inside is equipped with a barbecue exhaust pipe, which is a bit like eating barbecue in a barbecue restaurant. You can choose a three-pot meal and choose three kinds of meat to be cooked. We chose ribs and bacon. All the firewood is used, and the restaurant is full of firewood and the smell is particularly fragrant.
The firewood fish is delicious. The first bowl of soup is a little light, but it becomes richer and richer as it cooks. It is really cooked with firewood. The fish is very fresh and tender, and the taste of perilla is very special. The rice is served in a cup, and something similar to pickled mustard is added. It is very satisfying to have a meal after coming down the mountain.
There are many people who comment on this store, which shows that many people patronize it, and the reviews are all good. In the current epidemic situation, it is still quite popular. I went to taste it, but it was a pity that I was alone and couldn't eat three pots. I ordered a portion of stone-ground tofu, which tasted quite authentic, and the crunchy rice reminded me of the taste of my childhood.
I ordered rich fish, pot-crusted pork, stone-ground tofu, and raw yam. The pot-crusted pork and stone-ground tofu tasted good, and I always liked them. There were a lot of firewood piled inside and outside the store, which affected the environment inside the store. The price was expensive, and the service level needs to be improved.
It was already past three in the afternoon when we came down from Tianmen Mountain. I wanted to eat something warm at this time. Lao Zaotai is not far from the Tianmen Mountain Cableway Station. It is very convenient to walk there, and you can eat there at any time. It is also a San Xia Guo restaurant that has been recommended on TV.
